DALLAS — This holiday season, Omni Hotels & Resorts is heating things up by providing guests with a limited-time ‘Season of Spice‘ menu that will feature classic spices you know and love while incorporating them into unexpected dishes.
The spice-filled, flavorful menu is the latest rendition of the Omni Originals culinary series, which launched in 2017 and sets out to surprise and delight guests’ palates through innovative dishes and crafted cocktails.
